Shadowplay

The distinct profile of your face and the voice that won’t reach it
Even if my groaning heart is left in the lurch
Always and forever, eternally, my desires will never wither
As I searched for your shadow

I can’t seem to put together the pieces of this puzzle that is the moon
The curtains hold the words, I open them

‘I always want to be by your side’, those words that can’t seem to spill from my lips
Your back, so far away

Even if it hurts me even more, I want to touch…
The days we spent together are not a lie, I reach out but…

Although it’s a wish that will never come true I want to seize it
Resulting in a pursuit, I followed you
Never again, never again will I ever let you go
I want to repaint a thousand nights,
That’s what I want to convey

Now I can’t seem to find any words, just embrace and scream out all the pain that I remember
Yesterday is monochrome, tomorrow is richly colored
I have in my hand the concept of the future I want to draw

These shining tears that spill forth from my heart
Give color to these withering flowers
I will never ever, never ever forget
The words that were exchanged, emptiness remains in my ear

The distinct profile of your face and the voice that won’t reach it
Even if my groaning heart is left in the lurch
Always and forever, eternally, my desires will never wither
As I searched for your shadow

Although it’s a wish that will never come true I’ll never forget it
This song without a form will change
Never again, never again,
Will this overlap, the game’s been fully played out, it’s over
Let’s make this the last moment
